Honestly watching the video that Mini-Forklift posted really motivated me going into this workout today. I am still not sure how I pulled it off seeing as I have slept a combined 10 hours the past three days. Diet has been on point though.

I'd go along with that, just gotta be careful to get enough rest. 90% efforts are pretty taxing on the CNS. You have a good weekend, get up to much?

I was actually sick all weekend. I think it was due to the lack of sleep and extreme stress both physically from my last workout and since it is very hectic at work and finals tome during school.I basically slept all weekend between shifts and got nice and rested.

Completely agree.

I am actually looking into possibly doing a meet. Looking for a competition coming up around here so I can atleast put myself on a timeline. I think it would help a lot having an actual goal. I don't know how my shoulder will hold up on flat bench though. It hurts pretty bad even pressing 135. This is why I usually stick to incline press. What is the best website for looking for competitions coming up?

They have a pretty good search engine if you type in what you are looking for. That said, I'd also check the website of various federations as not all of the meets from all of the different federation are listed on there. Be aware of the types of meets you are looking at as some are raw, equipped, tested, untested, etc; IMO you're probably best doing a raw meet first to see how everything runs on the day, then you can progress on from there.

Give me a yell if you have any questions or need any help with anything Matt, MF.
